About this property

Handcrafted Log Cabin On Island Park Reservoir With Beautiful Views & Hot Tub!

This beautiful, secluded cabin, dubbed the "Treehouse", is located on an elevated lot in the gated Centennial Shores community. It boasts expansive views of Island Park Reservoir, forested hills, historic Trude Ranch Property, and the majestic Centennial Mountains. You can enjoy this view from the cabin's wrap-around deck, crafted with unique old-growth cedar posts and railings. A short walk of about 5min, or a 1min drive from the Treehouse, will get you to a sandy beach area on the reservoir for fishing, swimming, and other water sports. Also available to you are 2 boat launching ramps with docks, and a large, grassy park to the east.

Inside this unique cabin you will immediately notice its beautiful craftsmanship and be welcomed by cedar tongue and groove ceilings, high log trusses and beams, a cozy great room with a gas fireplace, a 22 ft high window wall, and stair posts and railings of large old-growth cedar.

The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a 48" commercial-style gas cook-top, a large island, and beautiful granite countertops. The Treehouse contains 5 queen-sized, handcrafted, large log beds, with a hide-a-bed in the loft area. The Master Suite, located on the main floor, is carpeted and has an electric fireplace. The on-suite bath is tiled in natural stone, with an air tub and shower. French doors offer private access to the deck area. The second floor, fully carpeted, contains 2 large bedrooms with french doors opening to balconies, an open loft area, and stone tiled bathroom.

Let the Treehouse welcome you to the peaceful, tranquil atmosphere of Island Park and enable you to make unforgettable memories with family and friends.

The Treehouse is located just minutes away from some of the area's best attractions. Just a 35-40 minute drive north on Highway 20 will get you to the gates of Yellowstone National Park, or a few short minutes away is Henry's Fork, where you can enjoy fly fishing on the Snake River or Madison River. 20 minutes south on Highway 20 will bring you to beautiful Mesa Falls and Harriman State Park. Visit Big Springs and Johnny Sacks cabin, or take a drive up Sawtelle Mountain, where the views are endless. Guided float trips, horseback riding, and golf are all just minutes from the cabin. Hiking is second to none here, with trailheads in the nearby State Parks, along Targhee Creek, Coffeepot, and many other nearby locations. Miles of cross-country skiing and snowmobile/ATV trails leave right from your cabin door. Or, stay home and relax in our brand new Bullfrog R7 series hot tub, offering mountainous views off our back patio! There's no limit to your adventure here!

Bring your own toys or rent from one of the locally owned businesses in Island Park. We suggest:

www.islandparkpolaris.com
www.highmountainadventures.com

We can provide links to the snowmobile trail map, grooming report, and winter rec info if requested.

Note to winter renters:
The cabin driveway is plowed out regularly in winter months, however in the event of a snowstorm during your stay, we suggest guests unload their equipment at the cabin and park trailers at the Kilgore-Yale and Old Shotgun Rd intersection. We also highly suggest that guests staying in the winter come up in a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Winter weather can be unpredictable in Island Park, and without 4-wheel drive, you may find yourself stuck until a snowplow can get back out to the area.

Also, a note to ATV/Snowmobile riders that recreational vehicles are required to be on the designated trails and never on personal property. The HOA at Centennial Shores will fine property owners if renters ride off trail or use un-built cabin lots as their riding destination. If a violation is reported, renters will be charged a $75 daily fine for each incidence.

Note to summer/fall rentals:
We are on a reservoir so water levels will start dipping in late July due to irrigation and current drought conditions. Usually this does not hinder water recreation such as boating, fishing, swimming, etc, but if you are concerned, please contact us to check the current water levels.

Also note, our cabin is not equipped with A/C. It is uncommon for properties in Island Park to have A/C, and it generally is not needed, even in the summer months.

This is a non-smoking, pet free cabin. We are also under a county ordinance for short term rentals and ask that our guests please stay in compliance for their safety and health; we ask that you stay within our occupancy limits, read the burn ordinances and please be neighborly.

Check in: 4:00pm - Check out: 11:00am
(Please contact owner if need early or late check-in or departure and we will do our best to accommodate your request).

HOUSE RULES/LIABILITY WAIVER: Our property provides you with a unique opportunity to swim, fish, participate in water sports, build a campfire, and relax in a hot tub. We want you to take advantage of these amenities and have a memorable visit. However, by agreeing to our House Rules, you acknowledge that there are inherent risks involved with participating in these activities and that lakes, water sports, stairs, campfires and hot tubbing may present dangers for adults and children.

If you swim or use the water equipment (especially children), we strongly recommend the use of life jackets, which are provided for you and your guests. By booking with us, you are agreeing to the House Rules and acknowledge the potential risks discussed above, therefore agreeing to full responsibility for any bodily injury that may occur to you and others in your party, and waive any claim whatsoever against the owners for accidents or claims arising from these activities.

6 family & friends had a perfect weeklong stay in late September at the cabin. The craftsmanship of every inch of the home is absolutely stunning and the highlight of the home. We loved waking up to views of the lake and seeing pronghorn bounding by at dusk. We spent every day in Yellowstone and were grateful to have a beautiful relaxing place to return to. Do note, if you're looking for convenience to Yellowstone's sights, stay in the park. We deliberately traded a longer drive time (45 mins each way outside the park gate) for a unique and comfortable home. The experience of the log cabin was well worth it to us.

Great getaway location!

This property was fantastic. The attention to detail when designing and building this cabin is incredible. We had three generations of family for our stay and everyone loved it. The bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen is good enough for any chef. All in all it has a relaxed, homey feel in a spectacular setting.

Yellowstone Vacation

This property was very, very nice. We loved all of the details and decor. It was a perfect setting for this area! I would definitely come back to visit. The owners responded very quickly to emails and questions. The house was furnished so well and there was a sweet treat waiting for us, too! The only thing we didn’t like was having to take our trash to the local landfill when we left. Thanks for a wonderful three days!!

Family Vacation

This house was perfect for ourseleves, 2 adult children with their families. We rentedbthis house due to the proximity to Yellowstone's west entrance, but unfortunately mother nature caused flooding and the park was closed. However, there are so many sight seeing, hiking and adventure opportunities in the area we all managed to have a wonderful time. The house is very well equipped with everything you might need! Would definitely rent this house again.

Blissful place!

Beautiful views! Mountains, prairie, lake! We loved the house and staying there. There were no matches to start the fire in fire pit. Also there was no paddle board as listed. Unfortunately we were not able to utilize the lake there as we did not have a vehicle to transport the kayaks to the water. Suggest leaving a lighter and having a wheeled kayak transporter available. Also some box fans for bedrooms when temps are warmer than usual. We were decently comfortable with the windows open though. Beds were comfy and the kitchen well stocked !

Felt like vacationing in a postcard!

The cabin was rented by 9 of us. Six adults and 3 kids. It was a great size, very clean, and the outdoor space was AMAZING! You want a mountain view- got it. You want a water view- got it. It is about 40 minutes to west entrance of Yellowstone, so be aware of that. It worked for us as we planned whole days there. Also- there are no major grocery stores close, so please plan accordingly. That being said- we all had an amazing time and do to some advanced planning, we thought the Treehouse was perfect. And Curtis and Gloria politely and promptly answered MANY questions from me. They were very gracious! They even stocked a crockpot in the kitchen so dinner can cook while you are away at Yellowstone all day! This cabin is great and you are certain to enjoy your time there!

Beautiful Home

if you’re coming to the area for Yellowstone National Park or the Tetons I do not recommend this home. It’s an 1.5-2 hours to get to either entrance. There’s an 18 min drive JUST to get outside the neighborhood and to just a gas station (which btw isn’t open all night long). The road leading to this home is gravel for 10 miles. It’s absolutely horrible. The home itself though is absolutely beautiful. You certainly do not need to leave the home to have a good time. It’s fully equipped with kitchen supplies, movies, blankets, everything you can think of! We LOVED the home but unfortunately will never be back because of the minimum 4 hours in the car each day.

Really roomy and upscale rustic vibe

We traveled to Island Park with our two 20-something children. Plenty of room at the Treehouse to stretch out in our own space. The entire home is very clean…well-appointed with everything you can think of. The kitchen is great, with quality appliances. We spent an entire day aside from our trips to Yellowstone just at the house. Kids went kayaking on the reservoir, we went fishing, and enjoyed s’mores around the fire. Such a lovely, restful day. The property is sort of remote, about an hour from West Yellowstone, and miles down a dirt road. Entrance to the gated community was a bit confusing but not a big deal. What WAS a big deal was how UNCOMFORTABLE the master bed was. After two fitful nights on the unsupportive, creaking and sagging mattress, we discovered much better nights’ sleep on the recliners in the living room. Water pressure was good, but the kids did remark how the shower heads were awkward. In all, despite the uncomfortable master bed, we enjoyed a wonderful time and would recommend The Treehouse.

Nice cabin in a quiet spot. The only drawback for us was the WiFi. Our daughter drove 6 hours to get there and planned to do her homework there since we were told we would have WiFi. It is very spotty and turns on and off ALL the time. She ended up having to leave after 1 day so she could get complete her homework. It was supposed to be a family vacation so we were sad about the WiFi not working well. The owners are very nice though.

Christmas vacation

BEST Christmas vacation! This cabin was the perfect setting for celebrating Christmas with our family. We loved our stay at the treehouse and highly recommend the experience inside and out. Beautifully crafted cabin that was well maintained and comfortable. Island Park itself is a destination location to experience. Snowmobiling and sledding in deep power was a blast! Yellowstone NP in the winter is a bucket list type experience. The treehouse is a perfect base camp to explore all its surrounding Beauty. The memories will last a life time. Thank you for sharing.

We loved our stay at the Treehouse! We found a beautiful, well maintained, and comfortable home that welcomed our family on our first trip out west. Although it coincide with a partial closure of Yellowstone due to flooding, the gorgeous area in which this home is located provided plenty of vistas and wildlife to enjoy.

The Perfect Place for the Perfect Family Vacation

We were thrilled with our rental experience. Our stay was absolutely perfect. The cabin is just as described and was even better in person. The owners provided everything to help create a wonderful vacation for our family from the well-stocked kitchen, variety of water toys, comfortable beds, really clean and immaculate cabin, and communication from the owner. The location in Island Park was perfect. Close enough to visit West Yellowstone, hike some beautiful trails, enjoy the local restaurants, and to play on the lake--and yet tucked away enough to experience the quiet we were hoping for. We are so grateful we chose to rent this cabin and hope to return again with our children and grandchildren very soon. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

About the host

Hosted by Curtis & Gloria Morgan

Host profile image
Farmers by trade in NW Utah, having a cabin in Island Park had been a dream of ours for many years. After retirement we made that dream a reality and purchased land to build on in 2005. After 6 years of hard work we are now blessed to share this beautiful home with our children, grandchildren, family, and friends when we can. We've made some amazing memories here and we hope you will too!

Why they chose this property

We built this property from the ground up. Each log was chosen carefully and hand-crafted to provide the ultimate log cabin experience. Indoors you will find custom beds, tables, lamps, and woodwork that we made especially for this home! We've poured a lot of love into this cabin to make it a truly unique experience.
